Todays Times (Sat 6th July) carries an excellent article by Maxwell MacLeod on SkiffieWorlds - featuring illustrations of some of our members.

Apologies to Mike for any embarrassment caused, the image search was rather rushed and time precluded the proper courtesies - with hindsight there was this snap of local wordsmith, gentleman boatbuilder, pilot, fisherman and general bon viveur that should, perhaps, have been used instead. When all is said and done if he hadn’t conceived the Ullapool build syndicate would we be holding the Worlds next week? So ultimately it’s all thanks to Adrian. I think all who share this sense of gratitude and spot Ade during the week should escort him into the nearest watering hole and expunge the debt by plying him with the national beverage.
